Samsung Impression Review and Specs

The Samsung Impression has had a great "impression" on me and I love it! It has just the right dimensions to fit well in my hands The phone runs on AT&T and will set you back about $30, which is a great price for a new feature phone. The case I have on the phone is from AccessoryOne, but when I bought it said eForCity. You can pick up the case below for only $2.99.

Review: UrbanEars Plattan Headphones


The Plattan headphones made by UrbanEars bring a great sense of style to the table, but the audio quality is slightly lacking. The Plattans have overpowering, non-natural sounding bass, and the highs can sometimes hurt your ears. The mids are slightly drowned out by the bass, but they sound okay when the bass isn't there. In some occasions, the bass sounded great, but it is not a consistent sound.

The design aspect of these are terrific. They bring a nice modern design to the table and do not feel or look too cheap. They leave out the chrome accents for a nicer, more subtle painted metal, or matted plastic, which in my opinion makes them look much better.

Overall: 3.5/5, because they lack good audio, but they look great with their 14 different color choices.

Android App Review: Google Goggles

Google Goggles is one of the most fun apps to play around with in the Android Marketplace. You can take pictures of labels, logos, barcodes, book covers, landmarks, etc. This app can come in handy frequently and that is why I give it a solid 9/10, especially because it is free, so there is not much to complain about! If you have an Android phone (it is coming to the iPhone shortly), I highly suggest downloading this app.

WWDC Overview

WWDC is an annual conference that is run by Apple in San Francisco. And like usual, Apple introduced one new version of their main product line. This was the iPhone's time to receive an update on WWDC. Here we will post a quick overview of what happened during WWDC, and then my personal thoughts about the event.

Steve Jobs walked on stage wearing his usual black shirt and blue jeans. He started the conference talking about the iPad, and giving us some numbers. He said that the iPad has sold over than 2 million units in 8 weeks. That's incredible for a device that many people used to hate and say it wouldn't be successful. Then he announced that iBooks could read PDF files. That's when the fun began, and Steve Jobs started talking about the iPhone. He presented the "brand new" iPhone 4, and highlighted the 9 main features. These features were: 

  • The brand new design
  • Retina display
  • New processor (Apple A4 Chip)
  • Gyroscope
  • Better Camera (With 720p video recording)
  • iBooks
  • iAds
  • FaceTime (Video calling for Apple)
  • iOS 4 (With many new features)

In my opinion, it was a great event, especially for the developers that can now use these great new features to produce various apps. So concluding, the new iPhone 4 is not revolutionary, but it changes everything... All over again.
